<p>Like many industrialized countries, Japan is discharging enormous amounts of waste and is consequently facing various waste disposal and environmental problems. Luckily, the Japanese Government’s efforts towards establishing a ‘Sound Material-Cycle Society’, have proven effective in reducing waste, increasing the recycling rate and stimulating eco-friendly product innovation. Although the waste and recycling market is a mature market and is often directed by both the public and private sector, there are still business opportunities for technology improvement and replacement. The main challenges for doing business in the waste and recycling sectors in Japan, boil down to the traditional style of the Japanese business culture, established client-supplier relationships squeezing out most opportunities for new players, and the non-tariff barriers. This means that while the environmental sector is slowly opening up to foreign companies, access remains restricted in many ways. Hence a good understanding of the market, a suitable strategy and solid business plan will be crucial when prospecting the waste and recycling markets.</p>

In June 2013, over a quarter of Japan’s electricity demand was supplied by nuclear power; in September 2013 Japan’s last working nuclear reactor was switched off. There are no plans with a fixed date in place to reopen Japan’s 50 reactors. At the same time, more and more research and funding is being invested in renewable energy technologies.</p></div></div></div>Thu, 24 Oct 2013 20:15:47 +0000a.perna@eu-japan.eu393 at https://www.eubusinessinjapan.euhttps://www.eubusinessinjapan.eu/sectors/environment/about-environment#commentsRecyclinghttps://www.eubusinessinjapan.eu/sectors/environment/recycling

Japanese waste differs significantly from European waste. Some recycling companies use a “holistic method”, integrating the disposal of large electronics and white goods into their factory production line, partially in order to remove superficial features and reduce inputs.</p></div></div></div>Fri, 19 Jul 2013 10:01:55 +0000jessica@eu-japan.eu129 at https://www.eubusinessinjapan.euhttps://www.eubusinessinjapan.eu/sectors/environment/recycling#commentsPlasticshttps://www.eubusinessinjapan.eu/sectors/chemicals/plastics

Furthermore, Japan’s strength in this sector is highlighted by the fact that total export volume significantly outweighs that of imports. Notably, international trade is primarily with other Asian countries.</p></div></div></div>Fri, 19 Jul 2013 09:35:27 +0000jessica@eu-japan.eu114 at https://www.eubusinessinjapan.euhttps://www.eubusinessinjapan.eu/sectors/chemicals/plastics#comments
